Mrs N’s Notes, 19.8.22
Next week will be the Week 2 menu in both school & nursery.
Please remember to speak to pupils in the school about the choices available each day to ensure they pick something they will enjoy. Pupils from P.6 & P.7 need money added to their lunch cards BEFORE they purchase a meal. This should be done using the online payment system. Lunches cost £3.10 for P.6 & P.7 pupils, unless you have applied for free school meals.
The full menu and pricing details can be found here
Breakfast Club started again on Wednesday. Remember, Mrs Stewart is looking forward to seeing any children in the dinner hall from 8.15-8.45am each day. No need to pre-book…just turn up. P.1-5 pupils receive a breakfast free of charge. The cost is £1 for P.6 & 7 pupils who would usually pay for a school meal.
MEET THE TEACHER – WEDNESDAY 24.8.22, 3.15 – 3.45pm
PANTO TRIP
This week I sent out emails and letters about our planned trip to the Theatre at Christmas time. As I informed you in June, the general price increases this year mean the cost will be £15 per head. I realise this is a lot of money for families to find. If you have more than one child at the school we can partially subsidise siblings from school funds. Please call the school office if this affects you to allow us to work out a plan to help.
DROP OFF AND COLLECTION
Have you noticed our new yellow lines outside the school? In an effort to keep school entrances safer many local schools have had additional road markings added over recent weeks. PLEASE AVOID PARKING ON THE YELLOW LINES BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE. Thank you.
We are delighted at how well our P.1 pupils are settling in already. After a staggered start on the first 2 days, they are now in from 9am until 3pm with everyone else. For the safety of all pupils we continue to ask that adults drop children off at the gates in the morning. Remember that school staff will be in the playground from 8.45am. The infant gates will remain closed until this time each morning.
I think that, after a few teething problems, most families have worked out a collection routine that suits them. P.1-3 pupils should be collected by an adult from their class teachers in the infant playground at 3pm. P.4-7 pupils should exit by their own playground doors and arrange a meeting point with their families in or around the school grounds. Please remind your child that they should COME BACK TO THE BUILDING if they don’t find you in your normal spot.
The Pirate Ship outside the infant playground remains out of use at this time. I’m afraid it is unsafe for use and we wouldn’t want anyone getting hurt. Please remind your children not to play on it after school.
Please remember if you are waiting or walking within the school grounds, smoking and vaping are not allowed. Dogs are also not allowed within the grounds.
LOST PROPERTY
We already have a growing pile of sweatshirts, jumpers and cardigans that have been left lying around the school over the past few days. Please remember to add your child’s name to EVERYTHING! 😀
PE KITS
Pupils should continue to come to school in PE kits on their gym days. This should be their normal polo-shirt/sweatshirt on top, with shorts, or jogging trousers on the bottom half. Pupils should have indoor shoes that they can change into when working in the gym. Some PE lessons will continue to be taken outdoors too.
